Trelleborg presents unrivalled breadth of innovative engineered polymer solutions at OTC 2013
Demonstrating its expertise and passion for innovative polymer engineering in the offshore oil and gas sector, Trelleborg will present a series of technical lectures on industry-related topics and trends at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, Texas, from May 6-9. As a key area of focus on the company’s stand (No. 5255) throughout the show, Trelleborg experts will discuss current issues of concern to the industry. In total, eight technical presentations will be given at the show, with every session repeated each day to ensure visitors to the stand don’t miss out. Fredrik Meuller, President for the Trelleborg Offshore & Construction business area, commented: “As a world leader in engineered polymer solutions to the offshore oil and gas industry, we have an extensive experience in developing high-performance innovations that seal, damp and protect in the most demanding and harsh environments. “As such, we are always keen to share our vast knowledge and application expertise with our customers to help them accelerate their performance, now and in the future. OTC provides us with the perfect stage from which to demonstrate our technical capabilities and know-how, directly to those that could profit from them the most. We are eager to welcome visitors to the stand to attend the sessions and share with us their thoughts and opinions on some key industry trends.” Doug Marti, Market Development Manager within Trelleborg Offshore & Construction, will look at the importance of gaining Coast Guard approval for fire suppression equipment. Marti has been with Trelleborg for over 14 years and worked across nearly all areas of Trelleborg Offshore in the U.S., the U.K. and Norway. He has a solid understanding of the seismic, subsea installation and production operations as well as topside rubber products. Ben Wait, Sales Manager – Offshore Construction, and Jorgen Sletten, Director of Innovation and Technology within Trelleborg Offshore & Construction, will address the issue of flow assurance, discussing why the need for dependable and efficient thermal insulation has never been more important for deep and ultra deep water developments.

Trelleborg strengthens position by acquiring syntactic foam business in UK
Leading global manufacturer of polymer and syntactic foam-based solutions for the offshore oil and gas industry, Trelleborg, has announced the acquisition of Ambler Technology Limited (ATL), a leading manufacturer of syntactic foam and composite products based in Rochdale, England. This investment comes after the company enjoyed one of its strongest years to date in 2012, and is part of the organization’s long-term strategy to invest in markets with encouraging growth potential. Founded in 1969 and having diversified from a traditional pattern making business into a manufacturer, processor and machinist of low density syntactic foam and composite solutions, ATL has vast experience across a wide range of applications including offshore oil and gas, aerospace, automotive and energy. The company, which employs 55 staff at its factory North of Manchester, had net sales of approximately SEK 50 M in 2012, with good profitability. “ATL, which has been a key supplier to Trelleborg and other leading players in this field for over 20 years, offers a range of ground-breaking low density syntactic solutions capable of performance at depths in excess of 7,000 MSW, and has a particular expertise in the fast-growing area of remotely operated vehicles,” commented Alan Burgess, Managing Director of Trelleborg Offshore U.K., within Trelleborg Offshore and Construction. “The acquisition of this established organization will allow Trelleborg to leverage the experienced industry specialists, application expertise and cutting-edge technology which ATL can bring to the table, to ensure we are best placed to support our customers, now and in the future.” Andrew Garside, Design and Innovation Director within Trelleborg Offshore and Construction, added: “As a company we are committed to differentiating our brand through long-term investment in innovation. We believe that this deal will complement our high-end buoyancy offering and further strengthen Trelleborg’s market leading position in the subsea buoyancy arena. “Furthermore, following the success in developing our innovative buoyancy clamping solution which we will launch at OTC Houston later this year, as well as our next generation bend protection solutions, we are confident that ATL will prove to be an innovative and fast moving addition to the Trelleborg Group portfolio.” ATL has recently agreed a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with Manchester University in a bid to further enhance its capabilities and develop business accelerating solutions for the oceanographic and intervention sector. As part of the arrangement, the company will look to create a center of excellence for advanced composites. -Ends- For additional information on Trelleborg Offshore solutions for all offshore and subsea markets, please call Ruth Clay, Direct: +18324568308, Mobile: +12817405755; ruth.clay@trelleborg.com.
